After a hiatus of nearly one and a half years and through some hints KCB dropped in our Facebook group I was finally able to solve WOGE 131! It's the theater/stadium complex at Aizanoi, a Roman city with hellenistic roots in modern day Turkey.

I have no idea whether anyone still plays and consequently whether anyone will even read this but here it is. When on Google Earth 132:

The rules:

Q: What is When on Google Earth?

A: It’s a game for archaeologists, or anybody else willing to have a go!

Q: How do you play it?

A: Simple, you try to identify the site in the picture.

Q: Who wins?

A: The first person to correctly identify the site, including its major period of occupation, wins the game.

Q: What does the winner get?

A: The winner gets bragging rights and the chance to host the next When on Google Earth on his/her own blog!

I won't be able to answer any comments before next monday but after we have waited for so long I doubt that's going to be a problem.

After having won WOGE 39 with a lot of help from Andrea's clues (and Wikipedia's "List of ancient Egyptian sites" as well as the fact that it's a bank holiday here in Germany and I had nothing better to do) here is WOGE 40.

But first the rules:

I don't know whether this will be easy or hard but it's a pretty well known site so I don't expect it to last too long.

Here we go:

The archaeologically interesting part is the hill directly to the south-east of the modern houses.

Have fun and good luck!

EDIT:

Since nobody has found out yet here's a second picture, courtesy of Windows Live Local.

You can see the modern farm better in this one which should allow you to determine the country we're in.

OK, clues:

We're in Northern Europe.The site is a gravefield.The site is very close to the centre of power of the svear kings.
